When a young person has questions about sexuality the last place they should turn is thier friends. Kids may have very incorrect views. They may also spread stories on social media about how their friend was asking 'stupid' questions.
Parents, doctors, school councillors, youth leaders and pastors are appropriate places to seek answers. You can also easily access accurate information from reliable website covering the specific topic. For example there are many good resources with science answers on puberty, sexually transmitted diseases and other topics. Be careful that in questions of morality rather then biology to consult like minded Christian adults.

Solo masturbation is the act of sexually stimulating oneself with one's hands or various objects.
Couples may also use masturbation of each other as part of an expression of their sexual relationship. Within a marriage this is totally appropriate.
Ellen White, like many of her contemporaries, wrote against the practice using other names including “self-abuse”, “secret sin”, “secret vice,” "moral pollution," etc. Although Ellen White never used the word masturbation she did warn of the negative effects that this habit has on physical and mental health. Here are several examples of her council:
“Secret vice is the destroyer of high resolve, earnest endeavor, and strength of will to form a good religious character.” (1864 booklet "An Appeal to Mothers")
“When persons are addicted to the habit of self-abuse, it is impossible to arouse their moral sensibilities to appreciate eternal things or to delight in spiritual exercises. Impure thoughts seize and control the imagination and fascinate the mind, and next follows an almost uncontrollable desire for the performance of impure actions.” (Mind, Character, and Personality, Volume 2, Page 592)
The Seventh-day Adventist church has taken no official position on masturbation.
